V1.5, V1.4 COREGEN:  How can I install AcroRead on a Solaris system if
it is not already installed?



Problem Description:
Keywords: acroread, install, coregen

Urgency: standard

General Description:
The Acrobat reader, AcroRead, must be installed on your
system in order for you to bel able to read the datasheets
shipped with each CORE Generator module.

If you do not already have installed Acrobat on your system,
you must do so to access the datasheet information.


Solution 1:

Install Acrobat 3.0.1 from the vendor/acrobat directory on your
CORE Generator CD-ROM.	Archives in compressed TAR format as
well as GZIP format are available in this directory:

acroread_solaris_301_tar.Z
acroread_solaris_301_tar.gz


To install the tar archive,

- create an install directory for Acrobat (the location and
  name is up to you),
- copy the archive to this location
- Run the following commands:

   uncompress acroread_solaris_301_tar.Z
   tar xvf acroread_solaris_301_tar

To install the GZIP archive,

- create an install directory for Acrobat (the location and
  name is up to you),
- copy the archive to this location
- Run the following commands:


   gunzip  acroread_solaris_301_tar.gz
   tar xvf acroread_solaris_301_tar

Finally, add the path to your Acroread directory to
your PATH variable.
